| What
are the main functions of roots, stems, and leaves? |
Roots:
Roots anchor a plant in the ground, absorb water and minerals from the
soil, and sometimes store food.
Stem:
The stem carries substances between the plant’s roots and leaves. The
stem also provides support for the plant and holds up the leaves so they
are exposed to the sun.
Leaves:
Leaves capture the sun’s energy and carry out the food making process of
photosynthesis |
